Online Dating Addiction
In a recent article in Marie Claire magazine, a young guy discusses his addiction. Not to drugs or alcohol, mind you, to internet dating. After meeting a great woman on a site, he still couldn’t tear himself away from his dating profile, and would constantly search for better people, comparing it to sitting at a cafe or a park- he was “just looking.” Eventually, though, browsing turned into meeting, and he eventually was dating many girls at once. He admitted to searching the dating site anytime she turned away, even getting on it after she’d gone to sleep.
Don’t get us wrong, we don’t see anything wrong with casually dating, but the problem remained that that woman he liked so much thought they were exclusive. They eventually broke up and he says he’s still not met a woman who met his standards like she did.
Online dating can be a very appealing and satisfying experience, but you’ve gotta make sure you’re not letting it run your life. Try dating out in the real world too, so you can keep a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle.
